All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 16 Winterfort Special

"Sir, what does the College of Winterhold you are talking about look like?"

"Oh, Winterhold College, a very serious place. Compared to Hogwarts, the buildings there look very shabby, but I have never doubted that it is a good wizard college."

Linde recalled the scene when he first set foot in the Academy of Winterhold.

He was alone by then.Before parting from the three of Kleeman, they had a drink at the only hotel in Winterhold, the Frozen Stove Tavern. They drank from daytime to midnight. Linde is not a drinker, but when he is with friends, he can't stand it. Stop persuading them, they drank until the sky was dark.No one quit voluntarily, and they drank with the food provided in the shop at first.Boiled barnacles, fresh sea fish soup, raw oysters, cheesecake.It's all food with a strong smell, mixed with the flavor of the wine, it's like brewing a bomb in the mouth, making people dizzy.

Four drunks slept on their stomachs on a table in the lobby of a tavern all night.

At noon the next day, they said goodbye at the door of the tavern, hugged each other, and Linde watched them go home.

He turned to face Winterhold.

Legend has it that when the ancient Nords first landed on the continent of Tamriel, they established a dynasty, and Winterfort was the capital of that dynasty. For thousands of years from the First Era to the Fourth Era, Winterhold's political status was pivotal throughout Skyrim.

However, the "Great Collapse" event that occurred seventy-eight years ago caused most of the city to fall into the sea of ​​undead. The prosperous place is now in ruins, as pitiful as a small fishing village.

The academy survived the accident intact, but all the surrounding strata collapsed. Now it is a dim pearl standing on an isolated island of stone pillars.

The road leading to the college is suspended, winding and rising, and the guardrails and handrails on both sides have been in disrepair for a long time and are seriously damaged.

The wind from the Sea of ​​the Dead never stops, and there are rumors that people slip and fall from the road from time to time. Linde was especially careful when walking because there were no steps on these roads and they relied entirely on the pattern reliefs on the stone bricks to provide friction. Once winter comes, these roads will turn into scary slides, and if you fall, it will lead straight to hell.

Falaudah opened the door to the academy for Lind and told him to find a mage named Mirabelle Ewen. She is the main person in charge of the academy, the chief teacher, and equivalent to Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts. .

Mirabelle is a serious Breton, a race mainly found in High Rock in western Tamriel. They are generally of medium build, with gentler facial features, and often have a strong affinity for magic.

Knowing that Linde is a new member of the academy, Mirabelle led him to visit the academy and distributed work clothes for mage apprentices.

The academy presents a circular structure, with the main buildings distributed around the circle, and the central courtyard is very wide and planted with many common alchemy materials. Summer is the season when these plants flourish.

There is a statue of Salidor erected in the square, and in front of the statue there is a well of gushing magic power. Although the academy looks shabby and rough, some places reveal a profound foundation.

Located at the northernmost end of the college and also the tallest building, it is called the Temple of Elements. It has a three-story structure. The first floor is the activity hall, used for teaching, lectures and meetings, the second floor is the library, and the third floor is the residence of the chief mage. .

There are two buildings in the accommodation area, one is the Palace of Faces and the other is the Hall of Achievement.

Linde's dormitory was assigned to Hall of Achievement.

Before Mirabelle left, Linde quickly asked, "Are there any rules here?"

"The academy will not limit the research direction of mages. But you have to understand that magic is a very rigorous subject. Before you make any attempt, you must do all the theoretical work, and it is best to be under the care of an assistant or tutor. Cast spells. And try not to study magic like necromancy that can easily cause panic among ordinary people. If you must study it, please go outside the school or ask a tutor at the academy for help. Our relationship with the locals is already very tense. Stop fanning the flames.”

Linde nodded in agreement.

The Hall of Achievements was quiet, and the magic candles were bright and cold. Everyone was busy with their own research and ignored Lin De, a new student.In the next few days, he studied the theory alone in the library without dealing with anyone.The food here is bread, water and wine, like a medieval Christian monastery.

He would take time to go to London supermarkets to buy food and stock it in the library tower. Kali would prepare three meals for him every day.

Those days were very boring. Fortunately, due to Linde's extremely high learning efficiency, he quickly mastered the advanced magic as he wished. Later, he also got acquainted with some college members through social networking. Theoretical knowledge and research findings.Linde's performance was outstanding, and he became a core figure in the small circle without knowing it.

Looking back, it was a very peaceful and peaceful life.

……

A long story always has an end, and a long journey always has an arrival moment.

As night fell, the train began to slow down.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school." An announcement sounded in the train.

They're coming, Hogwarts.

Pine branches brushed past the window, and the evening sky was a peaceful deep purple.

A strong sense of fear arose in Harry's heart. The end of the journey was a world he had never seen before, and everyone would be anxious about it. Harry's fear is more serious. He is homeless. Going to Hogwarts is like a gambler betting on the game. If he is not accepted by the wizarding world, then those Dursleys who have been threatened by wizards will He would not hesitate to hurt him, beat him severely, and lock him in a stairway cubicle to starve to death.

Ron was still interested in Linde's story. After they changed into wizard clothes, followed the crowd out of the carriage, and stood on the dark platform, the coldness of the night finally defeated these young wizards. They trembled and looked at the senior students. The students walked out of the station talking and laughing.

Ron watched eagerly, hoping that one of his brothers would come over to comfort him. Hermione stood behind Lynd, following every step like a little duck, while Neville was now separated from everyone.

"Harry!" The hybrid giant was holding an old-fashioned lantern. He was too tall, and other little wizards could only reach his waist, so the lantern seemed to be floating in the air, very conspicuous at night.

"First grader, follow me." Hagrid shouted loudly. He approached Harry and the others, first touched the boy's head, and then greeted the young man, "You are Mr. De Lin, right? Dumbledore The professor specifically asked you to take a boat with us later to attend the sorting ceremony."

Only then did Harry and the others know the name of this young man. He had never introduced himself before.

Linde followed the freshmen to the shore of the Black Lake, and Neville found them on the way. The round-faced boy was a little frightened, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

The road leading to the lake is narrow and slippery, and most things in the magical world maintain a savage and primitive form, which also constitutes a unique background of careless and wild imagination.

But the new students suffered a lot. If they were not careful, they would fall down. Everyone was afraid and grabbed each other's robes to support each other. Linde's robe was grabbed by four small hands. He walked very steadily, and with every step he took, he would leave a briefly glowing footprint.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"Luminescence spell."

Hermione was surprised and skeptical, "But my Luminescent Charm doesn't work like that."

"I used a special technique. As for this problem, I will explain it to you when I have the opportunity."

But Hermione was still unwilling to give up. She had a strong pursuit of all knowledge. When they all arrived at the lake, they got on the boat - four freshmen were in a boat, and Lind's boat could only accommodate three people - Hermione Then he stopped asking.

Ron and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and the red-haired Weasley complained in a low voice, "She's really annoying. Talking all the way."

Harry nodded.

For the first time, they saw Hogwarts Castle on the other side of the lake. The towering building, the spire of the tower was submerged in the night, and the light from hundreds of windows was like unblinking stars.

The boat docked at the castle's underground pier. The freshmen followed Hagrid to the castle gate and watched him knock on the door. The old and heavy oak door suddenly opened, and a black-haired witch wearing an emerald green robe walked out. She was the vice-principal Minerva McGonagall.
